Red was a simple girl until Grandmother gave her a red riding cloak. She felt especially pretty in her new cloak, but the temptation to feel all that luxurious velvet pressed to her naked flesh was just too great. Now, something has awakened inside Red. A persistent ache that she doesn't know quite how to relieve. Red decides to use her Tuesday walks to dear old Grandmother's as an opportunity to sample all of the delights the local men have to offer, in a journey to find the one man that can satisfy her.

But Red is not aware that two magical creatures have taken a special interest in her naughty escapades or that true pleasure just might be found at the hand of a master in wolf's clothing!

Do you like fairy tales with a bit of spice? Then Red Riding Hood
should be right up your alley.
Red Riding Hood is a pretty straightforward story featuring a young
woman, a red cape and a wolf. It has been a favorite for me since my
childhood. This story adds a few elements to the mix, while still
maintaining a fairy tale quality. Since the story is so familiar, it
could have been boring, but as we discover, Red is a very naughty girl
and that red cape of hers is the star in many woodland adventures.

The voice of a story will either drag you in, or keep you at arm’s
length. This one kind of did both, if that makes any sense. I was
intrigued by the fairy tale tone of the book but the distance between
Red and the reader was a bit disconcerting. Reading on, I saw that the
author needed the distance to encompass the overall tone of the book,
but it left me longing for more connection with the character. Red is
described as a selfish and lustful woman who needs to be punished.
That was accurate, but when she is portrayed as too stupid to decide
for herself whether to sleep with a certain character or have choices
of her own about whether to follow her new Master, I had to fight a
feeling of annoyance. There was also a fight scene at the end of the
book that was introduced with the dreaded “dear reader” entreaty. If
you have a fight scene, show me-don’t tell me it happened and slip it
under the rug.

Overall, I found the dialogue right for the style of writing. Being
that it was in a historical fairy tale setting, the characters will
talk in a certain way. The BDSM sex scenes were hot and earned a glass
of ice water or two as I was reading. Give me hot woodland encounters
any day--good job there. The conflict with the Hunter and the Wolf was
very interesting as was the nature of the Grandmother. It was a
well-rounded, fast paced story, but I wanted that fight scene and a
bit more involvement with Red. I liked the BDSM elements combined with
the fairy tale twist. That was what kept me reading. A good spanking
always makes my day, especially if you have a very naughty young lady
who needs a firm hand.

If you like naughty fairy tales and want a very different look at what
is hiding under Red Riding Hood’s cloak, you should check out this
story and hold on for the ride.

RATING EXPLANATION:

1 Star -- At this time, we at Whipped Cream do not post these reviews. If the book was boring, badly edited, poorly written, had little or no plot, stilted dialogue, and/or unsympathetic characters, we will decline the review.

2 Stars -- Not wonderful, but tolerable. There may be some minor editing glitches but not enough to stop you reading. Not a wall-banger, but nothing you'd re-read. This is a book you would borrow from the library - not buy- and never check out again.

3 Stars -- Good. Mostly enjoyable. You made it through and didn't consider it a waste of time or money. The story was strong enough or the conflict tight enough, so even when the book faltered, it was able to draw you back in and keep you. There's a chance you'll recommend it to a friend, but it wouldn't go on your keeper shelf.

4 Stars-- Very Good. You're glad you were the one who got to review this book. You would probably buy it and would definitely recommend it to your friends. You liked the characters and the plot. The writing style was good and the editing clean.

5 Stars -- Great! You would definitely buy this book. You would definitely recommend it to your friends. You really loved the characters and the plot and would consider looking for this authors back list or making her an autobuy. The writing and editing were superb.

WC Best Book - For a book or story that is truly exceptional. You think about it when you're not reading it. You wonder what happens to the characters when you finish. You would absolutely buy everything else this author had to offer. The highest praise - and reserved for only a few.
